             Ported to RISC OS by Reuben Thomas (rrt@sc3d.org)


A Russian character-set converter: it can cope with the ECMA/ISO, KOI8,
Windows and DOS-Alt codepage 866 encodings.


The sources came from

http://www.kiarchive.ru:8090/pub/archive-tools/msdos/convert/char/recode.zip

and contain no attribution, so I'm assuming I'm free to port and distribute
them (the original archive contained the source file and a binary for MSDOS).
As the original sources have no copyright information, I disclaim all
ownership and warranty myself.

I made some small change to make the program use only ANSI library functions.


Usage


RussConv is a command-line utility. Run it with no arguments to see the
options; you specify an input and output file and the conversion you want
done. Note that the program refers to the DOS Russian character set (codepage
866) as "Alternative".

The russconv binary should be copied into a directory in Run$Path, such as
the Library or !Boot.Library directory.


Known problems


None, but tell me if you find any.
